AWWWW... you cheated and went the easy route. When it happened to me, I did it the FUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN way. What you need is a 10mm wrench, and I believe a philips head screwdriver. Then, you start disassembling it from the outside, working your way ever deeper to the hood latch. Yes, not the easiest thing, but definitely fun if you are wanting to know how to get into the bay of someone else's StarQuest without setting off the alarm. ;D Took me about an hour. And to top that off, the reason I was trying to open the hood in the first place was a coolant leak.
